About Me


"There is so much more to life than JUST LIVING."
"This is Life...This Isn't a Dress Rehearsal."
~Unknown~
~KINDNESS~
"A small act of kindness can make a big difference. For when kindness is given, it inspires and enables even more kindness. You will cross paths today with someone who desperately needs to receive a little kindness. Kindness costs you nothing, and with it you can give so much. Even when it seems that your kindness is not appreciated, that kindness DOES indeed make a difference. Even if your kindness is not acknowledged, IT IS NOTICED, and over time can soften the hardest hearts. There is a special joy that comes when you do something just to be kind. Let go of your concern about what's in it for you, and experience how truly good it feels. Kindness can be so wonderfully refreshing. The world remembers and respects those who offer it on a regular basis. It's easy to give a little kindness. It's immensely powerful when you do it over and over again."
~Ralph Marston~
~COMPASSION~
"A human being is a part of the whole called by us
universe, a part limited in time and space. He
experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as
something separated from the rest, a kind of optical
delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind
of prison for us, restricting us to our personal
desires and to affection for a few persons nearest
to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this
prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace
all living creatures and the whole
of nature in its beauty."
~Albert Einstein~

My Interests



~CHILDREN~
"We worry about what a child will become tomorrow,
yet we forget that he is someone today."
~Stacia Tauscher~

"If the World is cold, make it your business to build fires." ~Author Unknown~
It only takes ONE step to make a positive difference in someone's life. Join ONE.org and help make poverty history. There is nothing on this earth that hurts more than to see these images and to know that millions of children are suffering!

I like camping, fishing and hiking...anything that has to do with the outdoors and hanging out with family and friends. I enjoy poetry, reading, and painting. I don't watch a lot of TV, but if I do it's usually a History, Science, Food, Biography, National Geographic, Discovery or Travel channel. I like to attend Science and Art Museums and the Theater, (not the "movie" theater). Someday...I want to move to Montana and live in the mountains, maybe have a small ranch. I would also like to do some world travel to Spain, Egypt, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Africa...I'm fascinated with world cultures, world history and archeology.

~EARTH~
"This planet is not terra firma.
It is a delicate flower and it must be cared for.
It's lonely.
It's small.
It's isolated, and there is no resupply.
And we are mistreating it."
~Scott Carpenter~

I'd like to meet:



~STOP WAR~
"Unconditional war can no longer lead to
unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to
settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to
great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by
winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the
great and the small, the rich and the poor, the
committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must
put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind."
~John F. Kennedy~

~PEACE~
"Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained.
It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will,
Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of
principle. It will never be achieved by
passivity and quietism."
~Dorothy Thompson~

~LOVE~
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
~I Corinthians 13:4-8

~UNITY~
"I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you
friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need.
I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest
Source. I salute that Source in you.
Let us work together for unity and love."
~Mahatma Gandhi~

~RESPECT~
"When men and women are able to respect and accept
their differences then love has a chance to blossom."
~John Gray~

PEACE, LOVE, UNITY, RESPECT



~THE BEASTS~
"If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a
great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to
the beasts also happens to the man.
All things are connected."
~Chief Seattle of the Suwamish Tribe~

~NATURE~
"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or
unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be
quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because
only then does one feel that all is as it should be
and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the
simple beauty of nature."
~Anne Frank~

dance and in its music. Bodies never lie.

dancing is one of them.
~Vicki Baum~
**To dance is to be out of yourself.
Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.
~Agnes De Mille~
**Dancing with the feet is one thing,
but dancing with the heart is another.
~Author Unknown~

**Dance till the stars come down from the rafters.
Dance, Dance, Dance till you drop.
~W.H. Auden~
**Stifling an urge to dance is bad for your health,
it rusts your spirit and your hips.
~Adabella Radici~
**Dancing can reveal all the mystery
that music conceals.
~Charles Baudelaire~
**Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order.
~Samuel Beckett~
**Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
~Martha Graham~
**Dancing is just discovery, discovery, discovery.
~Martha Graham~
**Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling
the state of the soul's weather.
~Martha Graham~
**Dance is a song of the body. Either of joy or pain.
~Martha Graham~

movement is a word.

incarnate cosmos.
~D.H. Lawrence~

body and soul, to express what it too deep to,
find for words.
~Ruth St. Denis~
**Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it
but your livingroom.
~Kurt Vonnegut~
**To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak.
~Hopi Indian Saying~
**Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness
has never danced in the rain.

Music:

Far too many to name.
...Music is Life...
"Enjoy yourself, for there is
nothing in the WORLD we can call our own."
~Proverb~

"Without music,
life is a journey through a desert."
~Pat Conroy~

"Music washes away from the
soul the dust of everyday life."
~Unknown~

"If I were not a physicist, I would probably
be a musician. I often think in music.
I live my daydreams in music.
I see my life in terms of music."
~Albert Einstein~

Movies:


All movies except war and horror.

"I learned that the interior of life
was as rewarding as the exterior of life,
and that my richest moments occurred
when I was absolutely still."
~Richard Bode~

"Give what you have,
Invisible forces will love you.
Give what you are,
Visible forces will not only love you,
But also treasure you."
~Sri Chinmoy~

Television:

Who has time for this?

Books:

"The mind, relaxing into needful sport, should turn to writers of an abler sort, whose wit well managed, and whose classic style, give truth a lustre, and make wisdom smile."
~William Cowper~

"No matter how busy you may think you are,
you must find time for reading,
or surrender yourself to
self-chosen ignorance."

~EARTH~

to skin and exhaust the land instead of using
it so as to increase its usefulness,
will result in undermining in the days
of our children the very prosperity
which we ought by right to
hand down to them."
~Theodore Roosevelt~
